It's human nature for people to expect people to be what they see on the screen.

Every actor thinks he can do comedy, and it's not true.

Most people don't know how underpaid and often ill-equipped urban fire departments are across North America.

I like to give the actors freedom to take what we have on the page and improve on it. And they do that quite a bit.

My brother and I tortured my mother growing up.

Most of the women placed in the fire department here in New York never passed the physical test. And a fat guy or a short guy, or anybody not passing the test in a life-or-death job, leads to friction.

Happy Easter everyone! Jesus dies, comes back from the dead - and we get chocolate eggs. It's like turn-down service from God.
